Henry Dunn to receive $100,000 grant for neurobiological research

Dr. Henry A. Dunn, an assistant professor in the department of pharmacology and therapeutics at the Max Rady College of Medicine within the University of Manitoba, is 1 of 28 recipients of the 2023 Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research (FLCBR) fund. This program provides funding of $100,000 to support innovative research focused on developing solutions to brain disorders and diseases including ALS, epilepsy and brain injuries.

“I’ve always wanted to come back to Canada to continue my research,” said Dunn, who recently spent some time at The Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter, Florida. “To be honoured by the Brain Canada Foundation not only provides critical funding for early-career researchers like me, but also gives me an opportunity to reintroduce myself to the Canadian scientific community and opens up opportunities for collaboration on a national level.”
